It is the K16 figure which seems to be under discussion.

It is Corded Ware which shows the "orange" EEF like intrusion, which they likely picked up in their move west. There is no "orange" in the R1b Yamnaya people from the greater Samara region. Whether there will be some in the western or southwestern Yamnaya region remains to be seen, but I would assume that is probably the case, given the long documented contacts between those communities and western Samara. That has nothing to do with whether or not there is underlying similarity between EEF and the "Near Eastern" half of the Yamnaya. As I said in my prior post, I believe there will be overlap, with the major difference being WHG in EEF and ANE in the "Near Easterners". Time and more ancient genomes and more analysis will tell.
